Third Son, First Daughter (Kyoya Love Story)

The Absence

Kyoya had been waiting all day for this moment, the last class of the day, but the only one that mattered. He sat, waiting patiently for Umeko to walk in.

I hope she enjoyed the flowers Kyoya found himself smiling. He had never sent flowers to a girl he actually cared about before, wait, cared about? I must keep my head together. Umeko serves a purpose, do not forget that!

Class began with no Umeko, maybe she is running late. Kyoya watched the clock as it ticked by. Umeko was still not there by the time class was half over, Kyoya began to worry. Had he overstepped himself with the card? Had his words been too bold? I’ve truly ruined this. What am I going to do?

As the bell rang and Kyoya walked to music room 3 his head was in a fog. He paid no attention to the other member as he walked to his table to setup his laptop. As soon as it turned on he saw he had a message waiting for him. As it loaded he saw the name on top Umeko Takoya.

‘Kyoya,

I do apologize for not attending school today. The weather took a turn for the worst and I was stranded her until the storm settled. However, I do plan to attend our meeting tonight to begin work on our project. I will see you at the scheduled time of 6pm. I cannot wait to thank you for your gift.

Until we meet,

Umeko’

Kyoya stared at the screen, tonight is the night. He looked around the room to see the other hosts preparing to open the doors, but Kyoya knew his head would not be with him today. He had so much more to think about now that he knew the flowers had hit there mark. Obviously his words in the card were perfect, as he knew they would be.

“What are you so happy about Kyoya?” Tamaki asked hands on his hips “Obviously you have received good news to have a smile like that on your face.”

Kyoya hadn’t realized he’d been smiling, obviously very out of character for him if the situation wasn’t going on right in front of him.

“Is it about a girl, Kyo-chan?” Honey asked sweetly as the rest of the club awaited his answer

“Why yes, it is about a girl.” Kyoya gave a small laugh as the rest of the club took a step back in shock

“Since when does Kyoya care about any girl that isn’t in this room? And why is she messaging him?” The twins whispered loudly to each other, clearly everyone heard them.

The club stayed silent, trying to understand the situation, but failing. They all turned away and continued with their tasks, still very confused.

 I cannot let them know my true purpose with Umeko. I’ll keep them thinking I truly care for the girl so they do not find my actions suspicious. As Kyoya told himself that he fought back the feelings he really had, the feelings that told him Umeko was important and that his feelings for her were not a part of his plan that he could easily cover up. He sighed as he rose to join the rest of the club, I have to hold this together, just a little longer and I will never have to interact with Umeko again. The thought brought a pain to his chest, how could he catch feelings for a girl that he was only going to use in the end?
